Town Poem

If a person was up in the window of an architecture building, would you wonder why?
It would be odd, to see it because everyone else is outside, but them.
You start to wonder why is he in trouble, or if he was just a slave.
It would be strange if you say a person hiding in the shadows too.
You see the coca-cola shack and a mysterious person is there? Why?
Does that person have a home and if so which?
Most of the homes are destroyed, there wrecked and damaged
Needed to be fixed, but nothing will, because there is not enough money.
The poor sad times of the Great Depression.

Here lies McCollum Grocery Store.
No One comes here anymore.
The stock market crashed .
So, Prices were slashed.
Yet, still nobody comes.
Little money was being made,
so it had to be saved.
They didn't want to waste it at Mcollum.

Here lies a church for thee African American.
Yet, around this church is not one man.
It's not that they lost their belief.
There was just no time for relief.
They needed to keep working.
There was no time for smirking.
For the depression had a great affect.

Here is the sight of something very beat.
It is the sight of four African American's feet.
Their conditions were poor.
Living life was a war.
There lives were hard, facing opression.
Now their challange is the Great Depression
